Yet nevertheless, 1the same Irenaeus, whom ye have here alleged, openly reproved Pope Victor: and S. Cyprian like wise reproved Pope Stevin: for that they thought,2 notwithstanding their Chair, they were in error. Brasmus, speaking of the Answer of Pope Innocentius unto the Council of Carthage, saith thus, In hac Epistola & Dictionem, & Ingenium, & Eruditionem tali Praesule dignam cogimur desiderare:3 In this Epistle we miss both Eloquence, and Wit, and Learning meet for such a Prelate. S. Ambrose saithe, In omnibus cupio sequi Ecclesiam Romanam. Sed tamen & nos Homines sensum habemus. Ideo quod alibi rectiùs seruatur, & nos rectè custodimus: I desire in all things to follow the Church of Rome. Howe be it, we our selves, for that we be men, have understanding, and Judgement too. Therefore, what so ever is better kept in other places, we do well to keep the same.

Ideo quod alibi rectiùs seruatur, & nos rectè custodimus: I desire in al thinges to folowe the Churche of Rome.
